[When a voice comes over the device, its tone is stern and mildly demanding.]

I've had quite enough of all this doom and gloom.

We are having a meeting. The Thesa Station, before the latest patch of unfortunate souls join us. I'm preparing a room for all of us, and by the bloody Maker you all are going to join me. Bring something to write with, because I will implore you to take notes. If you can't make it, I'll just assume you'll listen to my soothing voice over these devices anyway.

[With a click, it almost ends there—but Dorian quickly resumes the stream.]

... Also, if anyone with the strength to lift a few kegs, chairs, and other heavy objects would join me beforehand, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, perhaps, someone who can work a stove. And... also someone with more technical know-how than I—I am quite necessary in this equation, rest assured, but it would make things much easier. Cheers.

[And, finally, it ends there.]

[priorly]

I'll come and find you before I go.

[flashystyle]

It'll be good to see your face in person again.

[priorly]

Oh save that for when you see me, I'm less pretty than usual, I could use the flattery.

[flashystyle]

You not being as pretty as usual is still prettier than everyone else.

[priorly]

See? Something like that would be ideal.

[flashystyle]

Something like that, implying I must do better. Should I write poetry comparing you to the beauties of the earth?

[priorly]

Oh I'd love a poem. Though I should warn you I only really appreciate sestinas.

[flashystyle]

Oh, but that’s so much work. I’ll need more time.

[priorly]

I suppose I could settle for a quick villanelle.
